Nadya Octomom Suleman Shares Rare Update on Her Large Family

Nadya “Octomom” Suleman, known for having the world’s first set of surviving octuplets, shared a rare update on her family alongside a set of sassy selfies.

“Healthy, fit family, staying strong and thriving together,” Nadya, 49, shared in a carousel of photos posted on December 15, 2024. In the snaps, Nadya posed in a black and gray workout set as she shared a few selfies showing off her physique in the gym, while also documenting that a few of her children were working out alongside her.

The mom of 14 is clearly promoting a healthy lifestyle for her children as the carousel of photos also featured a colorful display of vegetables and fruits, homemade juices and a carefully crafted salad.

“Natalie [sic] you figured it out! Beautiful way of life for you and your family,” a fan wrote in the comment section. Meanwhile, another added, “Fabulous! Your family is amazing. Great job girl and you look so healthy and glowy.”

“I love a parent that makes an effort to influence their children to be healthy and fit!” a third quipped.

Nadya rose to fame in 2008 after her controversial pregnancy went viral. The California native was already the mother of six children — Elijah, Amerah, Joshua, Aidan, and twins Caleb and Calyssa — before giving birth to her octuplets: Noah, Maliyah, Isaiah, Nariyah, Makai, Josiah, Jeremiah, and Jonah in January 2009.

All 14 of her children were conceived via in vitro fertilization, and she has never revealed who the father or fathers of the kids are.

Her doctor, Dr. Michael Kamrava, implanted 12 embryos, leading to the birth of her octuplets, despite medical guidelines advising no more than two embryos be implanted at once. As a result, the California Medical Board revoked his license in 2011. The octuplets remain the longest-surviving octuplets in medical history.

The single mom has opened up about how she suffered a number of injuries due to her pregnancy and how her physical fitness is “even more of a priority” since giving birth. In June 2023, she said “lifting weights” had been her “method” of “constructively channeling stress” for the last 30 years.

“As a repercussion of the pregnancy, I sustained three more herniated discs (had one herniated disc from a work related injury decades ago); bilateral sciatica; damaged sacrum and peripheral neuropathy (and a torn abdominal cavity to top it off),” she wrote in a lengthy social media statement. “Such disabilities would render me incapacitated if I were to lead a sedentary lifestyle. Though it seems counterintuitive, the more active I am, the less pain I experience.”

She detailed her regimen, which includes three to four days of strength training in addition to four to five hours of cardio per week, adding that her kids have “adopted the same active lifestyle.”

“My oldest three weight train, far heavier than I, and more frequently. Ironically, my oldest son Eli, who has been training consistently for three years, has surpassed what I’ve achieved in 30, and loves mocking me at the gym lol,” she wrote. “He has encouraged me however, to lift heavier, using proper technique, which has improved my strength and performance.”
